A Western saloon is a type of bar that was popular during the Old West.
The very first saloon was created in Brown's Hole, Wyoming, in 1822 and served fur trappers.[1] Some of the saloons offered dancing girls, some of them sometimes doubled as prostitutes. A lot of saloons offered poker, faro, brag, dice games, three-card monte, billiards, darts, and bowling. Some saloons included piano players, can-can girls, and theatrical skits. During his lifetime, Wyatt Earp owned and worked in many saloons.
